ABSTRACT
This phenomenological study explored the social and academic experiences of students who are deaf at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW). Fourteen deaf students who are deaf were purposively sampled from a population of 36 students. Data were gathered through a semi-structured interview guide. Data were coded and analysed using thematic approach. Results of the study indicated that students who are deaf had varied social experiences. Whereas some preferred being at the same place with their hearing colleagues, others saw that as a waste of time. Academically, participants indicated that they were usually assessed on content areas they were taught. They added that assessment became difficult when Sign Language interpreters were absent. The study recommended that the university employ more Sign Language interpreters, and note-takers to help deaf students improve the social, and academic experiences.
